Cauliflower Manchurian
Manchurian is Indo Chinese and can be made with cauliflower, mushroom, paneer etc etc . It’s deep fried , and too many steps, so I never made it home before .
Finally made it at home and it came out good. What I liked best was the sauce. It is sweet, sour , spicy. If you never had it before or want to try , do try . All ingredients are easily available and don’t need special trip to Indian store . Plenty of recipes online so I won’t repeat.
- You can serve it on bed of greens and put some cucumber , tomatoes , onions etc slices around to make a meal out of it .
- If you make more sauce then you can have it over rice or quinoa.
- Makes a good appetizer.
- If you have air fryer , this will be a good dish to make. I am considering buying one.
- Or like me just have some mangoes on the side and call it a nice dinner .
- Enjoy!
